Court has adjourned a case in which Moses Nkonge Kibalama and Paul Ssimbwa Kagombe are to answer questions about de-registering National Unity Platform (NUP), a party headed by Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu aka Bobi Wine as they claim it belongs to them.

Justice Musa Ssekaana (Friday) adjourned the case and summoned the two men to appear in court on September 25 to be cross-examined on issues related to the party.

The lawyers of Bobi Wine have been allowed to file an affidavit in reply to what the two alleged following last month when Difas Basile and Hassan Twala petitioned court, contending that the change of name from National Unity Reconciliation and Development Party (NURP) to NUP is illegal.

The petitioners, therefore, want Electoral Commission (EC) to stop recognising NUP and to degazette it.

NUP has no file. It went to the party’s register and changed the file of NURP to NUP, which is illegal,” lawyer James Byamukama purports. Court documents indicate that NURP was formed in 2004.

Byamukama adds, “The road map is going on and those, who hijacked the party are busy nominating themselves as flagbearers. This needs to stop so that the case is heard and disposed-off so that we know the true owner of the party”.

On Monday, the complainants, who claim to be the founder members of NURP, filed the suit at the Civil Division of the High Court, against Kyagulanyi, NUP, Moses Nkonge Kibalama, David Lewis Rubongoya, Aisha Kabanda, Joel Ssenyonyi, Flavia Kalule Nabagabe, Fred Nyanzi Ssentamu and Paul Ssimbwa Kagombe.

NUP party members were sued alongside EC and the Attorney General (AG), who is the principal legal adviser to the government.
